abstract
The locality of bulk physics at distances below the AdS length is one of the remarkable aspects of AdS/CFT duality, and one of the least tested. It requires that the AdS radius be large compared to the Planck length and the string length. In the CFT this implies a large-N expansion and a gap in the spectum of anomalous dimensions. We conjecture that the implication also runs in the other direction, so that any CFT with a planar expansion and a large gap has a local bulk dual. For an abstract CFT we formulate the consistency conditions, most notably crossing symmetry, and show that the conjecture is true in a broad range of CFT's, to first nontrivial order in 1/N^2: any CFT with a gap and a planar expansion is generated via the AdS/CFT dictionary from a local bulk interaction. We establish this result by a counting argument on each side, and also investigate various properties of some explicit solutions.

DGKT vacua satisfy the holographic cubic coupling constraint if and only if the Calabi-Yau threefold is rigid (h^{2,1}=0).
Computes closed-form one-loop anomalous dimensions for all double-trace operators [φφ]_{n,ℓ} in Φ⁴ theory in AdS₃ for arbitrary n, ℓ and Δ_φ > 1.
Retarded correlators of bulk scalars and Wilson-line displacement operators exhibit bouncing singularities at t_c=β/2(1+i) with matching WKB and asymptotic OPE data, implying a universal high-frequency factorization.
The one-loop diagram in conformally coupled φ⁴ theory in AdS₃ is expressed as an infinite sum of tree-level diagrams, summed via number-theoretic conjectures to give analytic anomalous dimensions for all dual double-trace operators, with new results in t- and u-channels.
In N=2 SU quiver theories the large-N Hagedorn temperature depends only on quiver length for linear cases and equals that of N=4 SYM for holographic quivers, with a universal lower bound of 1/sqrt(2) on the exponential rate alpha of higher-spin current conservation.
A holographic consistency condition derived from large-N factorization requires vanishing cubic couplings for extremal-dimension operators and is non-trivially satisfied in DGKT AdS4 string vacua.
Term-by-term celestial transforms of perturbative amplitudes disagree with the full S-matrix transform in the Sinh-Gordon model at leading order.
Local CFTs lie at the extrema of the sphere free energy tilde F for nonlocal CFT lines, and maximize it when unitary.
Neutrinos disintegrate into dark jets in a composite sterile sector, producing enhanced neutral-to-charged current ratios and displaced vertices that probe compositeness scales at facilities like DUNE and FCC-ee.

Analytic bootstrap plus perturbative RG yields universal constraints on conformal data, new boundary fixed points in d=4-ε, and first extraction of boundary data for the tricritical O(N) model in d=3-ε.
Spectral functions of SYK, p-spin, and SU(M) Heisenberg models show exponential tails in spin-glass phases and quasiparticle families in spin-liquid phases, with a proof that exponential decay blocks detection of bulk causal structure.
In a Brownian SYK chain at strong coupling, information from an injected qudit spreads inside a sharp light-cone at the butterfly velocity because the governing dynamics reduce to FKPP domain walls.
A formula maps QFT response functions under periodic sources to Einstein ring images of dual AdS black holes, with the ring radius set by the QFT total energy for Schwarzschild-AdS4.
Two-loop effective string theory observables for Yang-Mills flux tubes in large-radius AdS are computed via transcendentality ansatz bootstrap, with Padé resummation used to probe interpolation toward small-radius weak-coupling AdS.
Standard low-energy quantum gravity via effective graviton QFT predicts interferometer length variations of order the Planck length (~10^{-35} m), with no divergences indicating breakdown.
The paper claims an FRG derivation of emergent AdS geometry for the O(N) vector model, but the derivation's key step contradicts its own equations.
